The famous Indian Hindi poet Maithili Sharan Gupt (1886–1964) tried to express the emotions of Yaśodharā in his eponymous poem about her, translated by Gurmeet Kaur: Oh dear, if he would have told me, Would he still have found me a roadblock?

Also, there is Naraseeha Gatha, a Buddhist verse which was recited by Princess Yasodhara[12] to Rahula, explaining the noble virtues and physical characteristics of the Buddha after his enlightenment.

"Gatha" refers to a poetic verse or hymn, often used in Buddhist scriptures to convey teachings or express devotion.

At one sitting, in a single adverting of her mind (āvajjana), she could recall all her previous existences over one incalculable period and a hundred thousand world-systems.

Yet, as Dipankara is approaching, Sumedha spots a girl named Sumithra (or Bhadra) holding seven lotus flowers in her hands.

He speaks to her with the intention of buying one of her flowers, but she recognises at once his potential and offers him five of the lotuses if he would promise that they would become husband and wife in all their next existences.

[15] In the thirteenth chapter of the Lotus Sutra, Yaśodharā receives a prediction of future buddhahood from Gautama Buddha as does Mahapajapati.

[18] Several other names are identified as wives of the Buddha in different Buddhist traditions, including Gopā or Gopī, Mṛgajā, and Manodharā; Thomas Rhys Davids offered the interpretation that the Buddha had a single wife who acquired various titles and epithets over the years, eventually leading to the creation of origin stories for multiple wives.

[23] Scholars say that Yasodhara felt not anger, but sorrow, and a desire to emulate him, to follow him into renunciation: "On the day of his birth, the Prince left the palace.

Hearing that her husband was leading a holy Life, she emulated him by removing her jewellery, wearing a plain yellow robe and eating only one meal a day.
